Fall Fishing Wisconsin With Captain Kirk
Fishing Wisconsin in the Fall on Lake Winnebago, the Fox River, and the Wolf River
Fall fishing in Wisconsin is my favorite time to be on the water. The crowds have left the lakes and rivers which makes me very happy. Part of what I enjoy about fishing is getting away from people. Yes I like people, but I don’t want to fish right next to another boat if I don’t have too.
The walleye bite can be pretty good in early October if the temperatures are consistent and not dropping too fast. But usually October is transition month. Things will slow down on Old Lady Bago and I begin to make my way back to the Wolf and Fox Rivers.
Fall is also a great time for multi-species bites with catfish coming on strong. I’m still targeting walleyes but sometimes other fish just get in the way. Me and my clients enjoy the action. Some of the biggest white drum (sheepshead) are caught this time of the year. And you could accidentally catch crappies, white bass, and small mouth bass.
As October fades to November you might just get on the best walleye bite of the year. Walleyes have a tendency too school in November and if you find them you could be on the best bite you’ve ever experienced. Give me a call if you’d like to join me out there and go on the hunt.
So what is the best bite of the year? A few years ago I got on a school of walleyes in November on the Wolf River near Fremont, Wisconsin. 2 of us caught 82 fish with 76 of them being walleyes. Wow! That was amazing. They were all small males 12-16 inches. We kept our limit that day. Not big fish but so much fun action. I’ll never forget that trip.
And just last year my wife and I had a banner day in late November on the Fox River in DePere, WI. Hardly any boats out there. We caught 40 walleyes in 4 hours. The biggest walleyes were 20 inches.
My last guide trip in 2020 was on December 10th. We put 20 walleyes in the boat that day.
I’d be happy to guide you and a friend anytime now until ice forms on the launch. Check out my rates here: Click Here for Rates.
How will we fish for them this time of year? A fun and very enjoyable way to fish: vertical jigging. I’ll control our drift in the river so we can bounce bottom with a jig. Keep a tight lines. Feel a “thunk”? Then set the hook. GAME ON!
